Pelikan replacement parts

[PelikanPenman]

Hello, quick question, can you purchase replacement parts for a Pelikan? To be more specific a replacement cap and/or body for a M805? Cheers!

I've noticed that Richard Binder sells bodies for the M200... I'm not sure about the M8xx.

 

Maybe you tried him already...

To the best of my knowledge neither Pelikan nor any other maker sells parts. Nor do most repair people. It's just too much trouble.

 

Someone comes to you wanting a part, you send it, it's the wrong part or it "broke" during fitting and pretty soon you are refunding someone's money and taking back a busted part.

 

The best thing to do is to send a modern Pelikan to Chartpak for repair or contact a competent repairperson for a vintage pen.

 

I hate to be negative, but as a vintage repairperson (maybe that's repairer of vintage pens), guess how I know all this?

If you want a barrel and a cap then it will probably be cheaper to buy a complete pen and flog the nib .

Actually, it's a very interesting and versatile word. I figured this is the British version of the word, as the American version of it would conjure imagery of some poor nib getting slapped with a whip. "Bad, nib--bad, bad nib!!"
